Civil Celebrants Thriving In Spite of Economy

14 December 2011 – The economic climate might not be encouraging people in Australia to go out and spend at every opportunity, but it does not seem to stop them from spending for the most important events in their lives, such as their wedding days.

Celebrants in Australia are observing that despite economic and financial difficulties, couples to be are still shelling out an average $30,000 to $40,000 on their big day, and though these figures might not make for the most lavish of weddings, it certainly isn’t cheap. Experts attribute this to how Aussies see weddings as a time for sensible splurging, where they tend to justify the expenses by the value of goods, in this case, the value of the wedding.

To put this in perspective: the typical Aussie looking for a good headset won’t go out and buy the most expensive one out there just because, but will be willing to pay for it if the value of the purchase (the quality of the headset) justifies the expense. Evidently, almost everyone puts a high value on the big day, and rightly so.

What results is an average expenditure on weddings that even tops last year’s figures, and remains in around the $36,000 range, with the most costly expenses being the reception, catering, and photo and video coverage. Some couples might go out of their way for expensive dresses and rings as well. Of course, every practical measure that can be taken is almost always put into effect, unless, like in the case of the expensive wedding dress, the couple digresses. A practical move is to hire a wedding planner that is financially savvy and has a lot of contacts which she can get discounts or barter services with.

On another note, civil celebrants are getting even more clients with the increase in couples choosing civil weddings over church ones. This in conjunction with the sensible splurging outlook, has had civil celebrants’ schedules booked to full to the middle of next year – much to the pleasant surprise of celebrants Sydney.
